*4
Select the camera cables between the controller and extension unit, between the extension units, and between the extension unit and camera according to the connected camera.
Different types or lengths of camera cables can be used for (1), (2), and (3) as well as for (4), (5), and (6). However, the type and length of camera cable (1) must be the same as those of camera cable (4), (2) must be the same as (5), and (3) must be the same as (6).

Parallel converter cable

When you change to connect the F series, FZ5 series, or FZ5-L series to FH series Sensor Controller, you can convert by using the appropriate parallel converter cable of FH-VPX series under the usable condition.

Note: Please be careful while cable processing, for EtherCAT, connectors on both ends should be shield connected and for EtherNet/IP, connectors on only one end should be shield connected.

1.The image acquisition time does not include the image conversion processing time of the sensor controller. The camera image input time varies depending on the sensor controller model, number of cameras, and camera settings. Check before you use the camera.

2.Frame rate in high speed mode when the camera is connected using two camera cables. For other conditions, please refer to the table below.

6.The maximum cable length depends on the Camera being connected, and the model and length of the Cable being used. For further information, please refer to the “Cameras /cables connection table” and “Maximum extension length using cable extension units FZ-VSJ table”. When a high-speed Digital CMOS camera FH-S_02/-S_04/-S_12 is used in the high speed mode of transmission speed, two camera cables are required.

7.This cable has an L-shaped connector on the camera end.

8.The FH-S___ enables switching between standard and high speed modes. In high speed mode, images can be transferred approximately two times faster than in standard mode, but the connectable cable length will be shorter.

9.The FH-S___ has two channels to connect camera cables. Connection to two channels makes image transfer two times faster than connection to one channel: high speed mode using two channels can transfer approximately four times as many images as standard mode using one channel.

10.Each channel can be used to connect up to two cable extension units: up to four extension units, two channels × two units, can be connected by using two channels.

28.Insert the aperture into ______ in the model number as follows.
F=1.9 to 3.8: blank
F=5.6: FN056
F=8: FN080

29.F-number can be selected from maximum aperture, 5.6, and 8.0.

30.When circle of least confusion is 40 mm.

31.Insert the shape into ____ in the model number as follows.
Straight: -O
Coaxial: CO-O

32.The working distance is the distance from the end of the lens to the sensor.

33.The depth of field is calculated using a permissible circle of confusion diameter of 0.04 mm.

34.The resolution is calculated using a wavelength of 550 nm.

35.Do not use the 0.5-mm, 1.0-mm, and 2.0-mm extension tubes attached to each other. Since these extension tubes are placed over the threaded section of the lens or other extension tube, the connection may loosen when more than one 0.5-mm, 1.0-mm or 2.0-mm extension tube are used together.
Reinforcement is required to protect against vibration when extension tubes exceeding 30 mm are used.
When using the extension tube, check it on the actual device before using it.

39.Maximum number of saveable logging images differ depending on scene settings. Refer to Vision System FH/FZ5 Series User's Manual (Z340).

40.When using two camera cables for connection, the maximum number of loaded images during multi-input is twice the number given in the table. Refer to the Vision System FH/FZ5 Series User's Manual (Cat. No. Z340) for details.

41.The multi-input function cannot be used when the built-in lighting of an intelligent compact Digital camera is used.

42.Frame rate in high speed mode when the camera is connected using two camera cables.

43.Applicable standards: IEC62471-2

44.A 12-VDC power supply must be provided to the Cable Extension Unit when connecting the Intelligent Compact Camera, or the Lighting Controller.

45.The current consumption shows when connecting the Cable Extension Unit to an external power supply.

48.Use the attachment power terminal connector (male) of FH-XCN-L series.
For details, refer to 5-3 Sensor controller installation on Vision System FH/FZ5 series Hardware setup manual(Z366).
